Does Halcyon make their backplates in sizes? I couldn't tell from the site.

That was my impression from Ed Hayes this weekend. He was looking for a "small" backplate for the one woman at the demo day.

Seaquest Diva! YOu have to try one on to see what I mean. I am small, as is my daughter, none of the other BCs fit me. :D I also have a Seaquest Libra (back-inflate) and it doesn't fit as well but works great with my heavier wetsuits for cold-water diving.
 
Hey all - thanks for the flurry of responses! I tend to be a warm water diver, and also use as little weight as possible (usually 6 lbs. when wearing my 3 mil shortie). My tanks therefore tend to be whatever is available at the destination.

I was leaning toward the jacket-style, as it seems a little lighter for travel, and also because it's what I'm used to from the rental gear I've learned with, but I will certainly look into the backplate/wing style after reading your advice.....
